This is kind of funny. I never have bought into the whole "trying to hide your e-mail address on the web" thing, (and I still don't). As long as you've got a decent spam filter (configured well) it's not a big problem. Oh, no!

I'm not sure I get the point of asking people you don't even know to be your netflix friends; maybe they thought they were on myspace or something...
